Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
PBIS Philosophy
PBIS is a proactive approach that schools use to improve school safety and promote positive behavior. The focus of PBIS is prevention, not punishment. At its heart, PBIS calls on schools to teach students positive behavior strategies, just as they would teach about any other subject—like reading or math.
Matthews Elementary uses the PBIS approach to reinforce positive behavior choices in a systematic, data driven way.
